pkgs.writeTextFile doesn't like spaces in filenames.
This is fixed in #162246, but other tools will probably dislike
spaces in .desktop file names as well, and that PR will take forever,
so let's fix this anyway.
If bash is executed within an environment where PATH is not set, it uses
the DEFAULT_PATH_VALUE compiled into bash to set PATH. In nixpkgs we set
this to /no-such-path by default. This makes sense in a nixpkgs/NixOS
environment since paths like /bin or /usr/bin should not be used.
However, when bash is used inside an FHS environment, this produces
results that differ from distributions which follow the FHS standard.
Before this change:
$ steam-run env -i /bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH'
/no-such-path
After this change:
$ steam-run env -i /bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH'
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:.
This updates makeDesktopItem to explicitly support all the fields in the spec,
converts list-like fields to native Nix lists instead of semicolon-separated strings,
and allows automatically generating [Desktop Action] sections from Nix code
instead of hardcoding them as extraConfig strings.
To keep this for the future we also strictDeps where possible, including for janePackages, topkg, oasis and ocamlbuild.
This makes some closures significantly smaller and makes cross compilation easier
- Convert icons to a single .icns file; and
- Provide an opt-out via X-macOS-Squircle in the desktop item to
override the squircle behavior when the source icons look bad when
converted automatically.
In https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/158042 I noticed order
mismatch as a bootstrap build failure when building x86_64-linux
against glibc-2.35 in nixpkgs (bootstrap libs has glibc-2.27):
expand-response-params> ld: /nix/store/p4s4jf7aq6v6z9iazll1aiqwb34aqxq9-bootstrap-tools/lib/crt1.o: in function `_start':
expand-response-params> /build/glibc-2.27/csu/../sysdeps/x86_64/start.S:101: undefined reference to `__libc_csu_fini'
expand-response-params> ld: /build/glibc-2.27/csu/../sysdeps/x86_64/start.S:102: undefined reference to `__libc_csu_init'
expand-response-params> collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Here crt1.o from glibc-2.27 links against libc.so.6 from glibc-2.35.
This happens because ordering of `-L` (influences `libc.so` lookup) and
`-B` (influences `crt1.o` lookup) flags differs:
expand-response-params> -B/...-bootstrap-tools/lib
expand-response-params> -B/...-glibc-2.35/lib/
...
expand-response-params> -L/...-glibc-2.35/lib
expand-response-params> -L/...-bootstrap-tools/lib
The change makes consistent ordering of `-L`/`-B` and allows getting to
stage4 for `glibc-2.35` target.
Disable file globbing in --prefix/--suffix, since bash will otherwise
try to find filenames matching the the value to be prefixed/suffixed
if it contains characters considered wildcards, such as `?` and
`*`. We want the value as is, except we also want to split it on on
the separator; hence we can't quote it.
This should speed up restore times a fair bit, especially for bigger
projects. Roslyn also has it enabled by default already, so I don't
expect any breakages from it.
This is a much more flexible way of doing things, as we can adopt and
reuse these hooks for various tasks. Syntax highlighting now also works
way better for me, which is a nice bonus :)
